Tech, Telecom Ban Donations to GOP Who Objected to Biden Certification

Big Tech and Big Telecom are punishing GOP members in the House of Representatives and the Senate whose politics they don’t like.

Amazon, Airbnb, AT&T, Comcast, Verizon (parent company of Yahoo! News) and Intel were all reported to be withholding donations. Their targets were any of the members of Congress who objected to certifying the controversial Electoral College results Jan. 6.

Apparently, GOP members of Congress representing the interests of the constituents who elected them are now officially taboo.

Just a little housekeeping to make Democrats the party of big business. Perhaps this will free up more Republicans to actually represent voters.

We’ll be happy to make up for the slack. They will be the ONLY politicians I will donate to.

I’m pretty sure they aren’t making chips anymore, or have announced they are stopping
